there are several new members'
wanting to join. This happened
again after that show and we are
very glad to welcome the new mem
bers (into the Band.
Bandmaster Robert Moore is real
ly putting the boys through their
paces these days, evidently antici
pating a busy summer for the Band.
We have been practising several
new selections and they do sound
excellent. A Band meeting was held
on Boxing Night, with our hard
working chairman,
son, officiating. The meeting
enjoyed by the members and
hoped that they will be able to
more meetings in the future.
It is with regret that we must
mention the loss to the band, of
AC1 Williamson, one of the saxo
phone players. His absence will be
greatly felt by the members
they all join in wishing him the
of luck and that some day in
future, they can meet again.

The R.C.A.F. Athletic Association
Boxing championship held at the

Before a large crowd of specta

contestants from Crumlin, Fingal,
T.T.S. St. Thomas, Port Albert and
Camp Ipperwash gave an excellent
demonstration of fine physical fit

Eddie Sobel back to Crumlin.
The boxers from Ipperwash
appeared here through the kind
mission of C01. Ballantyne, of Ipper

Other visitors included the Com

The judges, referees and timers were
representatives of each of the

matches.
Deserving special mention
their effort in making the evening
a success was the Work done by the
Brass Band of this station. The
voluntary bandsmen under the direc
tion of Sgt. Robert Moore played
many selections before and after the
matches, as well as at intermission,
that warranted the many favorable
comments heard about them.

IN SPITE OF ALL WAR HAZARDS
REACHED YOUR MEN
T\O you remember the "Change of Address” form which
you filled out when you moved your civilian home? After
that was filed at your local Post Office, every letter sent to your
old address had to be redirected to the new one, and that went
on until your correspondents were familiar with your new
location.
Probably you didn’t move very often, but each time you
did, the Post Office gave redirectory service. And if you will
think about that for a moment, you will begin to see what a
stupendous task confronts the Canadian Postal Corps in han
dling the military mails, when thousands of men are being
moved almost daily I
Yet, in spite of the need of tracing men from reinforcement
units to their’locations on fighting fronts ... in spite of the
need of tracing them through hospitalization ... or while
on leave . . . when their unit is moved ... in spite of delays
in air mail service caused by adverse flying conditions . .
delays in surface transportation caused by enemy action
in spite of every war hazard you can think of . . . your Post
Office and the Canadian Postal Corps delivered 31,500,000
letters to men overseas in 1943!
It is inevitable that, in tracing men who have been moved,
or wounded, some delays occur. It is inevitable that enemy
action holds up delivery in some cases. But everything that
human ingenuity and effort can do to give you a service that
means speedier delivery of the letters your men are waiting
for, is being well and thoroughly done, and will be done. New
methods of speeding mail deliveries are being put into effect,
new possibilities are being studied. Think of your own friends
who have been posted to new locations overseas, and realize
the task of tracing them when their mail arrives at their former
address!
You can help your Post Office and the Canadian Postal
Corps to give even better service if you will take a moment to-
make sure that your mail is correctly prepared. Do these simple
things . . .
/. Always be sure each letter or parcel (properly packed) is
fully and correctly addressed.
2. Use light-weight paper for regular Air Mail, or use the Armed.
Forces Air Letter Forms. Airgraph letters take a little longer
because they must be processed in Canada and overseas.
3. To men in hospital, mark your letter "In Hospital”, if yon are
advised to this effect
4. Never put into parcels perishable food, or any substance that
can be damaged bj’ extremes of temperature.
